BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s House has approved legislation that would allow concealed-carry permit holders to pack guns at schools, if officials allow it.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The House endorsed the measure 52-38 on Tuesday. The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Education officials have opposed the measure. They say teachers should not take on the role of law enforcement.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The proposal would require someone who wants to carry a gun in school to undergo training with local law enforcement.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A similar measure that would allow teachers and other school officials to carry guns at school failed two years ago in the Legislature.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Republican Rep. Dwight Kiefert, of Valley City, says the bill is especially aimed at rural schools where it may take law enforcement a long time to respond.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A West Fargo man who ran for mayor in 2010 is going to federal prison for six years on a child porn charge.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The U.S. attorney’s office says 52-year-old Peter Karl was sentenced Monday for the receipt of materials involving the sexual exploitation of minors. After serving his prison time, he’ll be on supervised release for the rest of his life.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Karl has lived in West Fargo since 2005 and received 2 percent of the citywide vote when he ran for mayor in 2010. He also made an unsuccessful bid for a city commission position in 2012.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say Karl has a child pornography conviction in New York state for which he was given probation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Tobacco foes want the North Dakota Legislature to raise the state’s tobacco tax for the first time since 1993.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rugby Republican Rep. Jon Nelson is pushing the bipartisan bill that would raise the state’s cigarette tax from 44 cents a pack to $1.54. The tax on a can of snuff would jump from 60 cents to $2.72.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State data show that the tax increase on tobacco prices would raise more than $138 million over the next two years.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nelson says raising the price on a pack of cigarettes acts as an incentive to quit smoking, as well as raise money for health programs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota ranks 46th among states in the amount of tax smokers pay.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Retailers and the state Chamber of Commerce are opposing the bill.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – House Republican leaders say the House will vote next week on legislation to construct the Keystone XL pipeline and send it to President Barack Obama. Obama has threatened a veto.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday that the House will consider the Senate-passed bill, which also included provisions stating that climate change is not a hoax.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The House passed a version of the bill last month. The Senate voted 62-36 last week to build the $8 billion project that would connect with existing pipelines to carry more than 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day to refineries along the Texas Gulf coast. That vote was short of 67 votes needed to override a presidential veto.<\/p>\n

In world and national news….<\/p>\n

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) – Jordan is vowing revenge for the death of a Jordanian pilot held by the Islamic State extremist group. A video online Tuesday purportedly showed the pilot being burned to death by his captors. It’s a video that may be aimed at building pressure from within Jordan for the country to leave the U.S.-led coalition attacking the Islamic State group. The airstrikes against fellow Muslims are not popular in Jordan.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – Alabama is asking the Supreme Court to let the state keep blocking same-sex marriages until the high court issues a ruling on gay marriage later this year. The filing came after a federal appeals court refused to issue a stay on a judge’s decision overturning the state ban on gay marriage. That paved the way for Alabama to become the 37th state where gays can legally wed.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – At least one possible area of common ground is emerging as Obama administration officials testify before Congress about the president’s budget for next year. The Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, says he agrees with President Barack Obama on extending the earned income tax credit to more workers without children. But aside from that, there’s little sign of cooperation. The Republican head of the Senate Budget Committee says Obama “wants us to owe — more, and more and more.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – As the House prepares\u00a0 for a vote to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care law, Obama is arguing that the effort to wipe out the law “makes absolutely no sense.” He was surrounded at the White House today by ten Americans from across the country who wrote him letters about how they benefited from the Affordable Care Act. The House bill appears headed for defeat in the Senate, and faces a veto threat from Obama.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW YORK (AP) – Fifty-five years after the release of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “To Kill a Mockingbird,” a second novel from author Harper Lee is going to be published. It’s called “Go Set a Watchman.” She actually wrote it before “To Kill a Mockingbird” — but it is essentially a sequel. The character Scout is featured as an adult woman. Lee says she had put the novel aside after writing “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and didn’t know it still existed until it was discovered recently by a friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
